American missionary Dr. Homer V Bradshaw 54 and wife recount brutal five year confinement in China. He says they were handcuffed, forced to exercise, and interrogated while imprisoned for alleged counter revolutionist activity related to radio links with Hong Kong Manila Tokyo and the United States.
